Curriculum

Early Childhood

Holy Family’s Early Childhood program focuses on providing a nurturing, safe, fun atmosphere for our children. Christian beliefs and values permeate instruction and the curriculum. The children interact, explore, and share in the excitement of learning!

We designed our curriculum in keeping with the school’s philosophy of developing each child holistically: spiritually, morally, intellectually, physically, socially and emotionally. We provide a creative, loving environment that promotes children as natural learners. Our curriculum incorporates a unique balance of structured and unstructured activities, which meets the needs of each child according to his or her age and individual progress. Through a combination of hands-on/minds-on experiences and movement and center exploration, the children are engaged in a rich learning environment.

All families have the option of choosing a traditional pre-school day or an extended day for their child (8:45 a.m. – 11:15 a.m., 8:45 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., and 8:45 a.m. – 2:20 p.m.). We build our programs to create flexibility according to the needs and wants of our parents and their children.
